The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship takes place over three venues - Kingsbarns and the Old Course at St Andrews in Fife and Carnoustie in Angus.

If you think you could benefit from some practice before you tackle the Carnoustie golf course, why not try some of the other gems in this region? Test your game on the Open qualifying course at nearby Monifieth and watch out for the clever bunkering of this links course. In the north east of Angus you’ll find two courses in Montrose - the Montrose Medal Golf Course is the fifth oldest in the world as it was established in 1562.

Watch out for the water if you play a round at the old course at Letham Grange by Arbroath, as it has gained a reputation as one of the toughest inland courses in the country with water featuring on nearly every hole. Experience the handiwork of James Braid at Dundee’s Downfield course, a qualifying venue for The Open which is a real inland treasure. Dundee offers a number of parkland courses to balance the links of Angus, such as Camperdown, Caird Park and Ballumbie.
